PET SPOTLIGHT
Buttercup
UPDATE-Adopted! Look at that pretty face! This is Buttercup! She spent several months being a terrific mom and couldn't be adopted so may not have met as many potential adopters as the other kitties. However, she is not to be missed!
Buttercup is a young female tabby kitty, about 1 year of age. She has a petite frame with a pretty, short haired coat with light colors of gray & tan and dark gray stripes and swirls throughout. She is a very sweet girl that loves attention and pets and will purr appreciatively! She avoids confrontations with other kitties, and would rather stay in her kennel to avoid the grumpy cats in the building. Buttercup doesn’t seem to like loud noises and is timid with young kids so we advise a QUIET home with older children. She may do ok with non-aggressive dogs and cats (where she has a ‘safe’ place to retreat to), or would be happy as an only pet.
Lovely Buttercup is quiet and gentle and doesn’t seem to mind being picked up. Her favorite toy is a plastic spring cat toy she can bat around to her heart’s content. Buttercup arrived with little bitty kittens and was a wonderful, devoted mom! Now that the kittens are weaned, Buttercup is looking for her own forever, indoor, loving home! Maybe your home?!
Hamlet
Hamlet was born about 9/21/25 and was three weeks old when found in a north side shop with some other kittens and no mom. Several went to homes, but this sweet, funny boy was skinny and went to foster care. Now he’s healthy, happy, and serious about a forever home of his own. Hamlet has a bright orange, tabby, short coat that will need a soft brushing or gloving every couple of weeks to keep its shine. He eats any kitten food he’s given, though he’s not fond of beef flavored foods and likes Churu tubes or Temptation treats. Hamlet likes cuddles and nose kisses and rides on someone’s shoulder. He plays well with other cats and kittens and people of all ages. He’s never seen a dog so how he’d react is unknown. Hamlets favorite toys are things he can toss around and chase or interactive wands and ribbon toys with people to play with.
Mia
UPDATE-Adopted! Mia is a tabby kitty about 1 ½ years of age. Her short haired coat is darker gray with some lighter swirls. And her face has white on her neck, around her eyes and a ‘triangle’ over her nose and mouth. There’s a spot of white on her paws too. Mia is a very sweet, gentle lady and was deeply loved in her previous home. She is a sweet heart and looking for a new forever home to adore her. Mia enjoys laps and will snuggle with you during tv time. She is a little shy right now as she gets used to her new living arrangements and will most likely be a bit shy in the beginning at her new home. Make sure she has a quiet place all her own while she gets used to the sounds and activity at her new place. Mia does very well on dry cat food. She does not enjoy ‘lickable’ products.
Mommas
Mommas is a black female kitty about 2 years of age. She has a soft short-haired coat, light green eyes and a black nose. Mommas is a sweet, quiet kitty that likes pets and head rubs. She would love a forever home to call her own. Come visit and see if you are a match!
Mouse
UPDATE-Adopted! Mouse is a young female black kitty we think about 1-2 years of age. Her silky short haired coat is all black as is her whiskers and nose. Her lovely light golden/green eyes really stand out against her coat. Mouse is a bit of a character, showing either a sweet personality or a spicy one depending on her mood. Her new person will probably need a bit of time to figure out her likes and dislikes to make everyone happy! Young kids are probably not a good fit for Mouse. Mouse previously lived with a gentle dog. Come meet this beautiful gal!
Rollo
Rollo is a Domestic Short Hair who is approximately 9 years of age. He is black with some grey/white coloring above his pretty eyes. Rollo is an independent cat, but loves attention and petting when it's on his own terms. A sweet boy, but shy and will need a patient family to out him at ease. At this point we suggest a quiet household without young kids. (approx DOB 11/2016)
Sapphire
Sapphire is a black female kitty with estimated DOB of 10/8/25. She was dumped in the shelter parking lot 11/5/25 from a moving vehicle! A Board member saw it, ran to save the tiny kitten and took her into the cat barn. Volunteers there cleaned her gummed-shut eyes and called a fosterer who took Sapphire straight to a vet. Sapphire quickly got over her gummy eyes and patchy fur, gaining health and weight. She has a medium length, very soft, black coat with reddish highlights that will need a soft brushing or gloving every couple of weeks. She eats any kitten food she’s given, though fish flavors are her favorites and Temptation treats. She’s a quiet kitten who likes to be near her people, cuddles, chin scratches, and nose kisses. Sapphire plays well with other cats, kittens, and people. The fosterer doesn’t know how she’d do with a dog. Her favorite toys are things she can bat around and chase or interactive wands and ribbon toys with people to play with her.
Sheba
Sheba was born about 9/10/25. A person doing an elder’s yard found her all alone at age about 2 weeks. She was tiny, had only one eye open yet, and was too weak to stand. The kind woman spent over a day trying to get someone or agency to help the baby before our shelter fosterer went there to get the kitten named Sheba. She had fleas, a cat cold and hadn’t eaten in at least two days. She got a bath, a warm bottle and a heated bed that first night. Feedings were every 3 hours. Next day the vet said she was a fighter and gave her things to help that fight. Now this beautiful, calm, sweet girl is healthy and ready for a forever home. Sheba has a soft medium coat with patches of brown tabby. She needs a soft brushing or gloving every couple of weeks to keep it healthy. Sheba eats what she’s given, though she likes fish flavors or chicken best. Churu tubes, Greek yogurt or Temptations are her favorite treats. Sheba just wants to be near you and get chin scratches and cuddles. She plays well with other cats, kittens, and people but hasn’t seen a dog so how she’d react to one is unknown. Her favorite toys are boot laces, interactive wands and ribbon toys with people to play with or coil toys.
